What TOEFL score do you need for Arkansas State University?

Arkansas State University (A-State) asks undergraduates for a TOEFL iBT score of 61 and graduate applicants for 79.

Applicants below these levels can meet the requirement by completing A-State's own ESL programme at the required grade.

How A-State handles TOEFL scores

The international admission page says test scores cannot be older than two years and that A-State is currently accepting the internet-based TOEFL taken at home. Neither page lists section minimums, a MyBest policy or an institution code.

For comparison, the same table sets IELTS at 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.0 for graduates.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.

If your TOEFL score is below A-State's level

The score table accepts completion of A-State's ESL Program in place of a test: 80% or above for undergraduates and 90% or above for graduates. Completion of a CEA-accredited language programme at all levels, or of the HOFT Institute ESL Program, is also listed for both levels.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your A-State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
